Network World blogger Jamey Heary makes no bones about the rootkit code about to be posted tomorrow:
This is the scariest, stealthiest, and most dangerous rootkit I’ve seen come around since the legendary Blue Pill! No, I’m not just trying to sensationalize this or spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. This is serious and represents a massive new security threat for us all.
The code exploits the System Management Mode in all Intel CPUs, and therefore cannot be detected by the operating system. Read Heary’s post to find out why white-hat security researchers would post such code for all to see.
